Surface Pro Getting Full? – Plug In An SD Card; Full iPod? – Not So Fast

Citing massive Internet coverage recently of Microsoft’s Surface Pro tablet PC shipping arrives with a lot of its onboard storage already full up, The Register’s Lewis Page thinks it’s a minor issue since Surface Pro has a microSDXC expansion card slot, meaning that you can easily add 64GB of capacity now and probably 128 GB in the near future.

However Page notes that if your iOS device fills up, there’s no remedy except to buy a new one with higher storage capacity.

Page contends that the story shouldn’t be “the Surface doesn’t have enough storage”, but rather – as has been the case since the iPhone first appeared – “iOS devices continue to lack expandable storage, and unbelievably Apple users continue to put up with it”.
